FEROCIOUS Dog will be let off the leash.

Creating their own take on traditional Celtic folk, Ferocious Dog takes the traditional instruments: fiddles, whistles, mandolins and mixes them up with a bit of raw, buzzsaw rock n' roll attitude.

They will be performing at the Electric Palace in Bridport on Thursday April 16.

With their unique, aggressive yet feel-good music, they tear up venues across the country, often bringing their faithful Hell Hounds along for the ride.

For many years Ferocious Dog have appeared at small venues and pubs, until in 2009 when the band were given the opportunity to play at Bearded Theory Festival.

They went down a storm, were asked to return the following years and ultimately played the main stage in 2012 where their popularity grew tenfold.

After this opportunity, gig and festival offers from all over the county starting coming in thick and fast, and on the back of an eponymous album, Ferocious Dog are playing and headlining festivals across the country.

They made history this year by become the only unsigned act to ever sell out the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, not only once but twice.

With a successful 2014 autumn tour including sold-out shows, and with their new guitarist, 2015 is already looking bright.

Doors open at 7pm and the gig starts at 8pm
